THE pm EsIDENT.

Who so spiritedly and properly q
few weeks ago resented the in
suits Of some Of the members Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic and de-
clined TO visit st. Louis in October,
yesterday gracefully yielded to the
whole.hesited invitation Of large,
influential and enthusiastic del.
egation headed by the mayor Of
that city. The speech OF bis
honor was one that not only the peo-
pie Of Missouri, but OF the whole
country, will indorss as In no sense
above the dsservlngs Of Mr.. Cleve-
land. His moderation, his ready
adoption to circumstances, his firm.
ness, his courage and the promptness
and frankneis Of his speech all COM
mend him as essentially man Of and
for the people. Mr.. Cleveland strikes
the average American as an aver
age man. To make this seem
his measure Is to argue the
possession o! great giits OF tact, for Mr.,
Cleveland Is far above the average
man. He Is not consp!cuously great
man In the eenee OF high intellectual
power, but he is great In the use be
puts his powers TO when occasion Of
isis or oxigency demands. He hal
never yet failed to rice equal to any
demand, nor has hs ever disappointed
the People in their expectancy as t.
what he should say or do. From the
first he has dealt fairly and frankly
with the people. He has had no 70
serves, andithereioie no condolences
He attends to their business promptly
keeps his pledges, Is kindly and hos
pitably disposed. and makes q goo,
impression upon all visitors ard dele
cations. Mr.. Cleveland's bon homm,
OF manner ia Irresistible and his com
mon sense is proverbisl.

In the Heuse OF Commons.

LONDON. July 25.-In the House OF
Commons this evening, Mr.. Morley
asked what had happened to explain
the proclamation OF the whole Of Ire
land, since the Government had as.
sured the House that the law WAS as
we'll obeyed in some parts Of Ireland
as in any parts Of Great Britain.
Mr.. Baliour, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, replied that rs had no reason to
change his opinion that parts Of Ire.
land are as quiet as parts OF England.
What the Government had done was
not to apply the whole crimes act to
Ireland generally, but only the sub.
tections. dealing with rioting, unlawful
assemblies and obstruction OF police
Mr.. Sexton asked whether the ex
ecutive before Issuing the proclama'
tions distinguished the counties
where II was necessary to prevent
crime from those where II was neces'
ssry 10 punish crime.
Mr.. Baliour said that In every case
in which q county had been specially
proclaimed the proclamation had been
issued because the government be
lisved In the sexual existence Of crime
or intimidation.
The Houee then went into commit
teo on the laad bill. Upon taking uI
the first clause extending to leaseri
the benefits Of toe act OF 1881, Mr.
Psrnell proposed an amendment. Tn,
bill as II stands gives the option II
tenant or landlord to make spplics
ton 10 the curt 10 fix the rent
Mr.. Psnell urged that the tenan
alone should have the right TO apply
the period OF such application 10 b
limited to three years.
Mr.. Baliour accepted the amend
ment with q limit Of two years, Nj
Parnell agreeing.
Mr.. PsInell proposed to extend th
operation d the clause TO all lease
except those In perpetuity. hI
Chamberlain supported the proposal
but the Government opposed 1t, and
was negalived-l9l to AZ.
A government amendment extend
ing the term to ninety-nine years va
agreed upon.
